hay guys just wanting your thoughts on lowering my tj magna im getting a set of 18 inch rims and going 245 rubber all round and then i want to lower it i was thinking of 3 inches is this too low ? has any one gorn lower ? please tell me your thoughts on this thanks for your time

King Super lows on the front
and lows on the rear = perfect :)

go full fooya style,

get superlows all round, then take em to a spring compressor and compress 3" :badgrin:

a total drop of around 5.5" :shock: :D

fully pimp if you ask me 8)

U said 3" all round..sounds like u want a LOW car...which i like!

Ive got king springs super low (2" all round) compressed 3/4" front n 2 1/4" rear...sits ok...but id like it lower...bout 1/4" front n 1/2" rear more. It would b ***ing low...and scrap everywhere...

Have a think how often u drive, where, are there speed bumps where u go etc. road condition...the beta it is, go lower...the worse...just go king super lows

yep. lower the better!

i dubbed fooya's car "Beached Whale"

cos every damn speedhump, its like balances when the hump gets to the middle of the car. hahahah. he like leans forward to transfer weight so the front wheels can continue to pull him free 8)


:lol: :lol: :lol: thas ****in low! 8)

um, for real?

for basic, go 2" at front and 1.5" at back

usually people got for superlows at front, and lows at back

i still dont get the point in super low front n low rear...i had super lows all round and it sits un even...so dus a mates magna!

If u want real suspension...i HIGHLY recommend coil over suspension. a mate just had koni adjustables put in his crx...and it literally sits in a corner n doesnt move...its sweet....dear...but sweet

I would prob go 1" and no way over 2". But hey, who needs practicality :?

And obviously you don't want your car to handle. Magnas do not handle well on super low suspension, Whiteline even say this with there kits that if you want total handling don't go super low. I have mine about 40mm lower as that is what is recommended for handling. Yes it would look better lower but I'm more into getting around the corner as fast as possible.

keith, we should cruise some time when ash is back on the road, i want to see the perfect suspension setup

personally lower is better, but there is definatly such thing as too low

as long as you can pass vic rd req? 10cm that's enuf

yer any more than superlows are shocking handling......u need to spend about 1500-4000 (new parts) or more to get a decent ride

ill go the 40mm lower prolly, its 15mm over my insurance but 1inch is poor :x

I've heard that any lower than 2" in most cars and you can start to lose handling.

i reckon my super lows handle brilliant.

or is it my booyalicious wing that does all the handling for me ;)

its prolly your fat ass booya giving you that extreme road hugging drivability

BOOYA...hes got u there...

but dude...read my signature...its so true...FOOYAs a top example of KOOL LOW...mine...its decently low...

Pimpin FOOYA...thats a beta nick...suits ya car beta as well! KEEP IT!

hrm.. im thinking of getting super lows alround...
since i have nothing in the back!!
no spare or sub so that would do me well....

i put my spare back in on long trips... :)

can any one set me up with some pics of the difference between super lows n lows??
side shots preferably!!
cheers...

Ahh i've got the whiteline kit on my car. Gotta agree that the koni adjustables (they come in the whiteline kit) make the car handle dam sweet and make it really stiff (can get annoying on bumpy roads). Whiteline says the 2mm drop is the best handling which is what I originally had but car was too high so got a set of king springs put on. Not sure which ones but the car is about 2" lower than standard.

It's a nice height but 1" lower would be better. Cant lower anymore though because with the kit the cars sitting on the bare legal limit. A good thing with the koni adjustables is that the rear shocks have a clip
that let you lower the car a further inch in less than 5 minutes. Wish the front shocks had such a thing.

Apparantly the king spring superlows for the rear arent sold anymore because they found that for some reason they keep popping out.

Hey booya in that foto of ur car on the dyno.. You sure ur cars dropped 5.5"? My cars the same height pretty much

They pop out because your suspension can still extend to the stock length and a really short spring can't extend that far and still be in compression.
